jon: a lot of people who constantly look to cut the defense budget, cut defense spending, chop out this program or that program, this is a cautionary tale. >> look i actually think cutting government spending is good for the economy because it frees up resources for the private sector. so i do think -- the very reason you just mentioned, jon, that we got this enormous debt that is headed to 200% of gdp we need to very judiciously cut spending. maybe we should be looking at some of the domestic programs that by the way are still growing. jon: when you come out of a recession like we did officially a couple of years ago typically you start climbing back up and you start seeing 6, 7% growth. what happened? >> it's like those tv commercials, you know, help, i've fallen and i can't get up. and that is really the whole story of this u.s. economy. it's been growing at a little less than 2% on average for the last three years. jon, that compares with the average recovery from lee session dating back to world war ii. we are growing at about one-half to one-third the pace that we should h-b. so t
